Not as many, I started actually buying books about three years ago when I was given a book as a gift, I used to read stuff online or anything I could find at home, was always easier to watch the movie 😆
Glad that I'm here now and that I own some amazing ones.

I have mostly ebooks which add up to 184. The printed books I own are about seven. I also have an endless supply of eBook comics, and eight volumes in print from a nearby library

At my most recent count, 169. I share a bedroom with three sisters and only have room for one bookshelf (and shelving them two rows deep in some places :D Once I get my own place, I can make room for more, though I don't have any intention of slowing down on the collecting part anytime soon. I'll make them fit!

I've just had to pack them, so I can only say lots! A reason for buying our house was because there was room for bookshelves, although I've tried to move as many as possible to kindle. I can't live without a book handy, often reading several at once. Books come and go. Some I can read and part with, others have to stay around, because I know I'll go back to them sometimes. You can't desert old friends.

Usually I try to buy books i am absolutely in love with in a physical form. I have 50 in my room and 30 in my house library. I don't want to imagine the number if i counted my kindle/PDF's/E-books.

I'm just over around 300 books, I believe. I've lent out quite a few so I can't count them all, but it's definitely somewhere around that number.

I have an extremely full bookcase. My husband keeps telling me to downsize it since it’s in the way. But I can’t part with any of them!

I have donated hundreds of books to local libraries and given some away. I currently have around 700 or so. My husband saw the writing on the wall and got me a kindle. That has around 300 books on it. Now I'm using my kindle/PC version and audible. I'm not sure my house has room for many more with the 4 of us here. When the kids move out, we intend to turn one of the rooms into a library.

I own thousands of books... too many to ever read in my lifetime. Lately, we've been donating a lot of them, because they take up too much room and I'm the only person in the house that reads them.

I take good care of my books. It feels good to donate sturdy books to the library.
